thats cause there are lots of BAD dks trying to pvp at 80. good rule of thumb is if they have a presance buff (theya re all wastes of talent points) you should be able to kill them. people on my server AVOID me in wintergrasp becasue i bury 2 and 3 hordes at a time. i have to have DND on casue DKs won't leave me alone >.<
Were you born stupid or do you actively work on it? "olol he spent 2 talent points on a useful, passive raid-wide buff, FREE HKS OVER HERE EVERYONE!!!!"
Um, don't argue with him, he buries 2 or 3 "hordes" at a time. I think he may know more about this game than you.

since the spelling nazi's are out in force today i'll reiterate. "Hordes" should read "Hordies" (whore-Dees) and i never claimed to know more about the game than anyone, just relating my pvp experiences as comparied to a lot of peoples.
Also yes i ment the aura buffs not presances. from pvp it goes unholy>frost>blood in order of of least lame. If i miss something this time i'm sure several people will point it out. I'd use preview but work is lame and the page doesn't load 50% of the time

Yeah, what's going on with the forums? They're being wonky as shit today.

Seriously though, saying stuff like "dude people like run away from me in PvP because i'm a fucking terror that just wrecks shit and people just kneel down and beg for mercy instead of even fighting me because im so rad and oh my god anyone with 2 points in this talents is a free hk instakill because i'm soo good and its not like they'd fight back anways because everyone is terrified of me. but srsly listen to me guys because im so good and can take on 16,000 whordees at once"
Just doesn't instill much faith when you talk like that and make blatently ridiculous statements like your diatribe on DKs who spec into a "presance".
Correct punctuation and grammar are key for holding intelligent conversation. You'll find on these forums that people will listen to you a lot less if you can't take the time to even phrase something correctly.

I agree whole heartedly, it could just be that horde on my new server are really not that talented, but pvping on my shaman i never once could say i steamrolled 3 people at once on a consistant basis. As for the grammer and spelling, i'll be the first to say that while i'm no English major. My being stuck at work on IE 1.0 with a keyboard the size of a small loaf of bread has a lot to do with it.

*misses firefox terribly*
A crap version of IE and a small keyboard don't really account for "mistyping" keys that aren't particularly near each other, or saying things like "save i steamrolled" (nice ninja edit btw).
Now I just feel like a dick :-/
Suffice it to say, writing intelligently and proofreading are the first solid steps towards getting people to take you seriously when you're trying to make points.
It's cool dude i do the same thing on other forums when I'm some place where i don't have to constantly check over my shoulder to see whos walking around. I turned off my ipod which should help with the wrong word substitutions. we'll see though lol

Ahaha, I love this quote.
But yeah. All three presences are amazing. Run speed enchant boosts speed by 8%, only a very, very few specs can ever reach the +15% run speed. Frost aura is AMAZING, holy shit fuck you casters I now resist your shit! And blood aura...is something you would get if you were that deep in blood. Great for soloing/groups/raids, just OK for PvP. I mean, I've come out of a lot of battles with 100hp or less, I know firsthand just howmuch that little bit of healing can mean.
It's why my go-to PvP seal has been Light recently. I only put up Justice if I am afraid of them running or if my allies lack snares. Light heals for 200+ a tick, that's 20 bloody stamina!

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Oh, I don't like the arena at all, I'm all for that.
I wish wintergrasp wasn't on a 2 hour timer. I've seen some familiar faces in there from before the dark days of Burning Crusade. Fuck cross realm PvP.
Yeah, I would still never get blood aura for pvp, and probably not for pve either. It's too inconsequential for healers to take into account, and not enough healing for the burst damage of pvp.
yeah theres an Orc DK, orc shaman, and forsaken mage that come looking for me when ever the battle for wintergrasp starts... i guess they don;t like getting ganked over by the volcano 3 or 4 times.

And as to spelling and grammar...
How you post here or in WoW is how you present yourself. Think about meeting a group of people for the first time. If anything, you want to give a good impression. You don't want people thinking you are a slack-jawed yokel (wow, yokel is in my firefox dictionary?). And I've never seen someone get shit over correct spelling/grammar.
Funny story, I've actually gotten groups by using proper capitalization and punctuation. It's true! In fact, I refuse to invite hunters/rogues/ret-pallies to dungeon groups I am starting unless they use basic capitalization and spelling. Does proper spelling and capitalization mean they will be good? No. Can a person be at the pinnacle of skill without using proper spelling and capitalization? Of course. However, I run under the assumption that all WoW players are idiots, and hunters/rogues/ret-pallies are among the worst offenders. Proper spelling/grammar at least gives me a much higher chance of getting someone who is putting a liiiittle bit of thought into the game.
I say all this, but of course I have my caveats. I mean, one of my favorite go-to PuG tanks uses spelling and grammar that often make me cringe, but he's a nice guy in general and a fantastic tank (the type that never, ever stops pulling mobs) so I don't hold it against him.

I fully plan to start using the armory statistics page from now on when inviting people into pugs. Players with significant amounts of lols will not get invites.

The 2 hour timer is what makes it so great. There is that anticipation element. People know it's coming. They know that there is something at stake. People start arriving 30 minutes before go-time just in case the portals bug out.
I've already made enemies too! I love it! One retard holy-pally named Riplegion keeps popping up. He can never, never, kill me solo. Almost always tries. When he starts to discover his shortcomings, he'll run and gun. That's actually all he does. Try to run and gun, using judgment and holy shock at max range, searching for alliance to help him out.
He basically plays some sort of retarded hunter-paladin.
Then there's the rogue that kept trying to gank me in grasp yesterday. She teamed up with legion a few times, and I got my ass beat down. But I just thought it hilarious when she would open up against me and fail horribly (i.e. me not needing to bubble). She was a pretty good rogue, though. Knew to dismantle, bleed, and run a bit. Was kinda dumb not realizing my pally-deep-wounds were constantly ticking. Also: love that my ret aura does a shitton of damage to mut rogues (which she was one).
Though the 4k fucking ambush crit she did was unexpected and holy shit did that hurt. I wish I had had the sense to check to see my E4E damage off that shit.

Blizzard needs to get /spit on there as soon as humanly possible. That's probably the most obvious social factor I can think of that would be a surefire way to tell if someone is a huge tool.

Yeah, the timer makes sense from a design standpoint, but there's nothing else fun to do for the next 2.5 hours, pvpwise.
Anyways, my best experience was running into a certain High Warlord I remember from back in the days of wyrmscale pauldrons on him, and lightforge on me. With 10 tenacity buffs, I killed him and his healbot without taking more than a scratch. Fair fight? Hell no. Awesome? Hell yes.

Agreed.
The best emotes by far, however, are /shimmy, /flop, and /cold.
In that order.

sounds like it could be excellent for another reason: it lists how many times that person has completed a given instance. Useful in case you're inviting them to fly drakes at the end of Heroic Oculus.

Of Hordes, presumably.

I tried to get Dora for my DK.

I thought you did? Well, someone on these forums did, I saw a "Dora the Explorer" SS a while back.
